Product Description
If your horse suffers from Sweet-Itch you understand how miserable they can get in warmer weather when the bugs start biting. Our Shires Sweet-Itch Combo Fly Sheet offers complete protection for your horse from their poll to their rear and is highly breathable. It’s tough—made from a lightweight 600 denier ripstop fabric that will resist field wear and tear, yet it’s comfortably soft. It includes ample fabric in the integrated neck and stretch ear panel to permit unhindered grazing and it fastens with four D-ring, touch-tape closures on the neck. This fly sheet also includes an anti-rub lining on the neck, chest and shoulders for additional comfort. Our Sweet-Itch Combo Sheet has two adjustable buckles on the chest, deep shoulder gussets for full range of motion and a belly flap with three adjustable surcingle straps. It finishes off with a large tail flap and adjustable fillet strap. Keep irritating, biting insects off your horse with this Sweet-Itch Combo Fly Sheet.
POLL PROTECTION
Our Sweet-Itch Combo offers full coverage between and in front of the ears—a favorite spot for biting insects. The ear panel is made of stretch fabric for added comfort.
SECURITY
The integrated neck has four D-ring, adjustable touch tape closures. Together with the two adjustable buckles on the chest, they all make sure the sheet stays securely on your horse, helping keep insects off your horse.
SHOULDER GUSSETS
These deep shoulder gussets provide your horse with a full range of motion.
TRIPLE SURSINGLES
Three adjustable sursingles and a belly flap cover this vulnerable area.
UV PROTECTION
In addition to proving great protection from biting insects, this sheet provides UV protection from the sun so your horse can safely graze through the day in comfort.
MEASURING INSTRUCTIONS
Stand your horse as squarely as possible and measure from the center of chest around the side of the body to the point of the horse’s rump just before the tail. If your horse ends up measuring between sizes, always make sure to round up to the next size to ensure full coverage.

Stays put and covers well
This sheet is great and the neck stays in place because it goes around the ears to help hold it in place. Its not airy like most fly sheets but so far the weather has been like 89 in summer time in Calif and my horse wasn’t sweaty. I hope he doesn’t sweat when it gets in the 100’s. Very happy with this sheet and if you have a horse that’s allergic to fly bites like mine it then you should get this sheet.

DURABLE!! Better than a Rambo!!
This fly sheet is awesome!! My gelding is SO hard on fly sheets, but this one has lasted me now for 2 months and he hasn’t ripped a single thread in it!! He has terrible sweet itch and really suffers through the late summer months, but this sheet has really helped keep the midges off! I have spent hundreds of dollars on two different Rambo sheets and countless others, and they didn’t stand a chance with his itching on fence posts and whatever else he uses to scratch his itches!! Here in this Nebraska summer the heat indexes have gotten up to 115 degrees with full humidity and he hasn’t broken a sweat with this sheet on! So happy with this sheet!

Nice fly sheet
This is the first fly sheet I used on any of my horses but it seems to be a heavier material than some Iâve seen. With that said, my mare wore it the past few days in 60-80 degree weather and rain. She has a run in shed also but the sheet never seemed that wet and she was pretty dry underneath. This certainly isnât waterproof nor was that my intention but it didnât get soaking wet and stay wet and heavy on her for hours. It seems to fit well. I measured and ordered the recommended size. It is a little large in the neck (big around) but sheâs a fairly petite mare. The neck has plenty of length so when she is grazing it does not pull on her ear/ head. This sheet does have soft stretchy material that goes around the horseâs forehead and ears to keep it up when not grazing. So far Iâm pretty happy with this fly sheet. It definitely seems to be helping with her insect allergies. I hope it lasts through the spring/ summer.

Perfect Full Coverage Fly Sheet
I love this fly sheet! I have a mare that is long bodied and has severe fly reactions. This sheet fits really well and covers her tail, belly, and neck. I’ve tried many different types of fly sheets over the years and finally am excited about this one. What I love about it is A) the fit, it fits her extremely well; B) the neck piece, she rubs her neck and shoulders all the time and this neck piece is attached so it doesn’t come off and all the straps under her chin actually keep the neck piece in place. She has been wearing it for about a month and has yet to get the neck piece twisted or moved. And C) the material, she is out on pasture 24/7 and has yet to get one rip in it. It’s a heavier mesh material but our mare seems to keep pretty cool under it. Overall, I love this product and would recommend it to anyone with a horse that needs fly protection!

More canvasy material. Order a size smaller
I bought this sheet to protect my horse’s neck. He tore out some stitches and has been itching constantly while it’s healing. I wanted a sheet that would keep flies off and hold up. It’s a well made sheet. Stayed put over night. Doesn’t come with legs straps but has loops so you can add them. The neck part is pretty large but the body fit decently, but a little big. He wears an 84. I haven’t measured the sheet to see how accurate the sizing is.Gave it 4 stars because of sizing and although I put it on overnight, we’re in southern california and he was sweaty by the time I got back to the barn to take it off the next afternoon. I wouldn’t use this as a summer fly sheet. More like a light turn out/stable sheet. But my horse is not used to really hot weather anyways.

Not breathable
I purchased this for my horse who has extreme allergies to midges/biting gnats. I am in South Florida where it is extremely hot and humid in the summer (90+ degrees with 80%+ humidity).. I did not even try to put this on my horse because it was clear from just touching the fabric that it was not breathable As advertised. I tried to return this three times and complained to Amazon twice. I didnât hear from the seller or Amazon.

Well made
This thing is rad: well designed, well constructed and covers the Very Itchy Belly perfectly. Ear parts don’t always stay on but not a problem for me. A bit hot on very hot days as it’s not mesh, but great for other days and keeps a horse clean to boot.

Easy to put on and take off, All her bug welts are gone.
I read the reviews and thought I would take a chance. I guess it all depends on your horse. She only had a little soil on the hip from laying down at night. As soon as it started to rain in Tampa she had hundreds of bug bite welts. Fans, bug spray, and automatic stall sprayers did nothing. After 3 days wearing the sheet at night no more welts. I only put it on at night. When I take it off I unfassen all the buckles and velcro leaving the head piece on with the ears sticking out. then I start at her head and roll the whole thing up from head to tail. Then hang it up and at night it goes on in 15 seconds.

Diese Decke wird auch von anderen Anbietern mit anderem Namen vertrieben. Ich habe ein Ekzemerpferd und diese Decke ist bei weitem die beste, die ich gefunden habe. Material fühlt sich angenehm an und hat einen Bauchlatz.

Super Decke die wirklich sehr robust ist. 24 Stunden drauf im Offenstall mi 6 anderen Pferden und nicht der kleinste Riss obwohl mein Geplagter sich trotzdem weiter an den Bäumen kratzt.
